    • isNaturalDead

      public boolean isNaturalDead()
      Check if this population member died naturally (didn't bump into obstacle).
      Returns:
      whether it died naturally or not.

    • setNaturalDead

      public void setNaturalDead​(boolean naturalDead)
      Set natural death of this population member.
      Parameters:
      naturalDead - whether a natural death occured or not.

    • calcFitness

      public abstract double calcFitness()
      Calculate fitness of this object. Fitness is a value telling how good is genetic information of this object. The bigger the value the higher the chance of this species genetic information to survive.
      Returns:
      Fitness of this object.

    • getFitness

      public double getFitness()
      Get the fitness of this object.
      Returns:
      fitness

    • setFitness

      public void setFitness​(double fitness)
      Set fitness value to be different.
      Parameters:
      fitness - a desired fitness value.

    • getInitialVelocity

      public static Vector getInitialVelocity()
      Get this objects initial velocity.
      Returns:

    • getStartCoordinates

      public static Vector getStartCoordinates()
      Get this species start coordinates.
      Returns:
      a vector containing this start coordinates.

    • getDna

      public Dna getDna()
      Get this species genetic information in form of an Dna object.
      Returns:
      this objects DNA.

    • setDna

      public void setDna​(Dna dna)
      Set this objects Dna to be different.
      Parameters:
      dna - a dna to be set to.

    • getObstacles

      public static java.util.ArrayList<Obstacle> getObstacles()
      Get an ArrayList of all obstacles that are seen by this population member.
      Returns:
      list of all obstacles.

    • getWidth

      public int getWidth()
